{mailto}

{mailto} automates the creation of a mailto: anchor links and optionally encodes them. Encoding emails makes it more difficult for web spiders to lift email addresses off of a site.

Technical Note

Javascript is probably the most thorough form of encoding, although you can use hex encoding too.
